Diet Vinaigrette is a delicious dish that can bring comfort and health to your daily menu. Despite its low calorie count, just 63 kcal per 100 grams, this salad fills the body and provides a feeling of fullness.


This recipe was created with the help of a fitness trainer with precise calculations of all ingredients, allowing you to gain maximum benefit without harming your figure. It also offers flexibility in product choices, so you can always adjust the quantity of ingredients to your needs.


Following this recipe, you can increase the pickles and cabbage or add more potatoes and beans for even more satiety. And thanks to special cooking techniques, each vegetable retains its best texture and taste.


Variations:

- Increase pickles and cabbage for lower calorie content to 50 kcal per 100 g

- Add more potatoes and beans for greater satiety and nutritional value

- Adjust the oil from 15 to 50 grams depending on the target calorie deficit


Secrets of tenderness and taste:

- Boil beets separately to prevent their color from staining other vegetables

- Boil potatoes and carrots in one pot, as potatoes cook faster

- Check for doneness with a sharp knife - it should easily pierce without resistance


Ingredient tips:

- Choose potatoes with medium or low starch content so they don't fall apart

- Onion 100 grams is the optimal amount to not overpower other flavors

- The higher the calories in the product, the less you should add it to the salad - this principle determines the proportions


Culinary nuances:

- Joyless food is the main reason for diet breakdowns, so balance between benefit and pleasure is critical

- Sauerkraut and pickles provide natural acidity instead of vinegar

- Oil is the most caloric ingredient, so its 30 grams is dosed precisely to achieve the target caloric content
